Feed a little crowd/airplane/pyro audio in with the mix and it would be ready for ESPN.

+ many more on this... I recorded the stream, then edited out all the ground shots and times of Night Air Show when camera was pointed away from the action. That cut run-time down from nearly 2 hours to barely 1 hour. :)
How did you record it?
Paul and Todd, thank you. You guys worked incredibly hard to keep up and ahead of everything last week. I didn't see much of it, because I was in Oshkosh and couldn't get any wifi, but from the forum traffic it sounds like you had a full time job and more. Thank you.
One opinion for next year. More like my vote, since I'm sure others will have other ideas. I would have liked it better if the three tower cams just followed a simple pan, back and forth, all the time like they did last year. I tried to talk to the folks back home and tell them what they were seeing, and tell them where to see me or our airplane, but it was pretty much impossible due to the irregular and (to me) unpredictable schedule for moving the cameras.
Again, you guys did a great job and I'm sure many thousands of people watched and appreciated it.

Far as the tours go. Most of the days the cameras were on a tour panning around the grounds, and days with heavier landing or departing traffic, we would allow the cameras to focus on the runways a little more, but still have them pan around the grounds as well. Yesterday, we did park the Warbird camera and the Ultralight camera to look at the runways for departing traffic. The Vintage camera should have been panning the whole show.
I am assuming you were trying to be in the view of the camera when talking to friends or family. All the tower cameras are mounted about 60' up in the air so it would be difficult to define a person through the webstream. Currently the best camera to use to be in the view would be the one at Vintage tower as we have always had that one stop to look at the enterance to the Antique Red Barn. At the end of AirVenture 2011, we did discuss the possibility of adding another camera on the grounds that was mounted lower where people could stand and wave to friends and family. This was put on the back burner for this year due to us totally changing the way the video was being encoded and distributed and costs related to that. We will still consider that idea for furture years and the many other ideas we would like to implement to further expand our coverage of AirVenture.

With Stream Recording software called JAKSTA. With Jaksta, if I know a specific stream will be showing something I want to watch, I can schedule Jaksta to record the stream starting at a specific time either for a set number of minutes or until I tell it to stop. If a stream I find has something I want to record, I can start Jaksta, tell it to start monitoring my web access, reload the page with the stream I want to record, and Jaksta will detect when my system starts receiving a "new" stream and start recording the "new" stream until I tell it to stop (or cancel) the stream recording.Quote:

This was a long week for Tim the camera man (not to be confused with Tim the tool man) that we get our airshow feed from durng the week. He gets daily assignments from the video department of things they have to shoot both for during that day and during that week. I know there were many days he was shooting footage for more that 14 hrs. Additionally it is difficult to find and or follow some of the aircraft during the night. Also, you may have noticed him focusing in on tents during the show, he does this to adjust and calibrate the camera for the changing conditions of ambiant lighting. Additionally he does have some general footage he as to capture for his assignments as well.Quote:

Thanks for the hard work. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the arrivals, the fly-in, and the departures. Along with the audio from LiveATC, I felt like I was almost there. You are indispensible to those of us unable to attend.:thumbsup:
God bless you.
I think a lot of things were stressed/stretched to the limit at Airventure 2012.Quote:
